This is a contest to see if our democracy and our country survives. And most Republicans have chosen their power and chosen not to have a democratic country.

Liz Cheney deserves a lot of credit. ... What we need is honesty and to stand up for core Democratic principles. The Republicans have abandoned democratic principles.

It’s critical that a moderate Democrat be put up, so we become acceptable to Republican voters, so we can hold on.

I thank Representative Guthrie and Chairman Pallone for their support of this critical legislation. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 1629, the Fairness in Orphan Drug Exclusivity Act. This crucial legislation would close a loophole…

Before coming to Congress, I served as a Pennsylvania State Representative. The legislation I was most proud to be a part of was the bipartisan Act 89 infrastructure bill that helped fix some of Pennsylvania's crumbling roads and bridges…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding to me. I also thank the ranking member and the committee in its entirety for working on this bill together. It is a sign of bipartisanship, one that I can be proud of and we can all be proud of. Madam…

I thank Chairman Scott for leading and for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the Paycheck Fairness Act. It has been more than five decades since the passage of the Equal Pay Act of 1963, yet a woman still earns only 82 cents on…

Last week, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan. Although the bill received no Republican votes, it has bipartisan support and will have a long-lasting bipartisan impact. Many constituents in my district have already received…

Today, I rise to speak about Sleep Awareness Week, a week to remind us all of the importance of something we all need--a good night's sleep. Sleep Awareness Week and World Sleep Day are internationally recognized and bring awareness to…

I thank the chairman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I am assuming our colleague on the other side of the aisle can pass a background check, so she will have no inability to have a gun. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 8, the Bipartisan…

You have got to be a genuine person who’s standing up for your own principles.

If the president doesn`t succeed, you`re not going to succeed.

Trump has really realigned the Republican Party. Trump is essentially an authoritarian.

Yes, there is no institute for honesty and competency in government. And Biden has both and his predecessor had neither. So, the numbers, the poll numbers are incredible about this.

The Republican Party is in trouble, because they’re only appealing to their extremist base.

Any man's death diminishes me. We will never forget, the world will never forget, as we watched as a police officer knelt on George Floyd's neck for more than 8 minutes. George Floyd cried out for his mother, saying ``Mama, mama, mama…

I thank our chairman, and I thank Representative David Cicilline for his tireless leadership in leading us to this day. All Americans deserve to be treated equally regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation. I do have to…

1 week ago today, I was trapped in this House Chamber as the banging on the doors began. I feared for colleagues, reporters, and staff. I feared for myself. The attack on the Capitol will never be forgotten. The President and many in this…

This is a sad day for America--a day of shame, a day of ignominy, an attack on this Capitol, an attack on our country. Madam Speaker, our words matter. Mobs, thugs, insurrectionists, domestic terrorists attacked our government with the aim…

I thank my dear colleague. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 3884, the MORE Act. Since the war on drugs began, the Nation's prison population increased from 300,000 to a staggering 2.2 million people behind bars. In the decade between…

I wear a mask so my granddaughter, Aubrey, can return to third grade in-person schooling as soon as possible. I wear a mask so that one day I can go to church and be surrounded again by a community in prayer. I wear a mask to look forward…

People are scared. People are worried about the future of the country. And Biden is campaigning on being a real president. And he has to act like a real president at all times. And I think he's doing exactly the right thing.

this is serious stuff. Boris Johnson ended up in intensive care and damn near died. And Trump probably got just as much of a viral load as Johnson did. They were both incredibly careless.

It's always been about the virus. And now there's no way for the Trump campaign to evade the idea of the pandemic.

More than 207,000 Americans are dead, and there is no end in sight. One in six Americans is jobless. These are not just numbers. These are people. They have lost their livelihoods, their health, their careers. Many have lost everything. It…
